The last English volume of Gintama, Vol. 23, came out on Aug 2, 2011 — about 15.3 years ago — and no new English volume has been announced since.

Gintama in English so far
The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Jul 3, 2007 from Viz Media. In the 4.1 years since, 23 volumes have come out — one about every 2 months on average. The pace has slowed lately: recent volumes have come out about every 3 months.
Japan is at Vol. 77 (Aug 2, 2019), so 54 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English.
