Volume 2 of Government of self and others has been published (in French). Volume 1 was published around this time last year (also in French).
Volume 2 represents the last lectures Foucault gave at the Collège de France, in 1984. They are called “Le courage de la vérité.”
Here’s an early review in Libération.

Seconded. The richness of the last two lectures is staggering.
