Delisting
The original release of Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin was delisted on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan no later than February 15th, 2023 when it was pointed out by user Suminya on the PSNProfiles forums. The game’s store pages apparently gave no advance notice before the delisting which came approximately one week before the international release of Ryu ga Gotoku: Ishin! Goku (Like a Dragon: Ishin! outside of Japan), the 2023 remake of Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin.
As Suminya points out, the companion app for the game released on the PlayStation Vita has also been removed from the PlayStation Store. The original release of the full game remains available on physical media for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
