This is an extreme example but take Star Citizen for example. This game has been in development for over 10 years. How do they take what they’ve already accomplished and keep it up to date? Especially things like graphics.

They update as they go along. For example, in Star Citizen, they made the player character models years ago. They’ll keep using them for now, and the character artists can move on to other things. Later, they’ll decide to update the character models (presumably), and it would hopefully be easier than starting from scratch.
Part of it will depend on the game engine you’re using. Some engines will be easier to update than others.
